Bulgin at the big tabernacle at Claudina and Wilhelmina-sts, preach on whether or not Moses was scientific. His text tonight is "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" or the part that a Christian should take in the world. Saturday night he will preach on "Neighborhood Scrapes," and a special invitation was extended every man who has been having trouble with his mother-in-law. Three services are announced for Sunday morning, afternoon and evening. Several selections were given by the choir and the audience, and Gourley played a stanza of "A New Name in Glory." Frank Leonard, bass singer at the First Christian Church, sang "Oh Make Me Pure." Carter announced that the high school boys band would give a short concert tonight at the tabernacle beginning at 7 o'clock. He also announced Mrs. Sexton's death the previous night. Visitors were present from Santa Ana and Highland Park, and the Highland Park people sang: "When We All Get to Heaven," the audience joining in the last chorus. Prayer was led by the Highland Park Presbyterian minister. Carter read a letter from Cleve Sedoris of Santa Anna to Dr. Bulgin commending the latter on the work that he is doing in Anaheim. He said that Dr. Bulgin had received a number of letters which were not signed, and that these had not been read. Bulgin said nobody but Samuel coward would send an unsigned letter. He said that all who wished their names to be held in confidence say so, and it would be done. Rev. V. K. Ledbetter of the Calvary Baptist church announced the prayer services which he said were growing in interest and attendance. He said that there is not a demon in hell big enough to stop the power of prayer. Bulgin was assisted by Carter in the reading lesson, Bulgin reading prophecies from the works of Mises and Carter reading their fulfillments in New Testament. Moses the Woman, the Lamb of God and Shiloh, the last Jewish lawgiver, and there is no place on earth today as big as Orange-co that is ruled by the Jews. Why? Because the Word of God has said that it shall not be so. They rejected Christ, their last lawgiver, and today they are without a sacrifice and without a Messiah. Carter sang "A Cross Upon a Lonely Hill." Bulgin said that he was in Los Angeles yesterday and met a man who was going to address the Los Angeles C. of C. The man was NOME SENDS OUT APPEAL FOR HELP SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 30—Diphtheria-stricken Nome, in a franticle cablegram received here shortly before noon today, declared that dog teams racing from Fairbanks with a small supply of antitoxin cannot possibly reach the stricken city before Feb. 13, and pleaded for a United States army airplane to speed the precious serum to Nome. A plane leaving Seattle could beat the malamutes in the race against death by fully a week, the cable said. ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 30—Covering the snow and ice packed trail in better time than ever made in Alaska, exceeding even the famous Derby records, mushing dogs arrived at Ruby today in their mad dash northward with antitoxin for 150 diphtheria sufferers in Nome. John Poliger and J. Nicolaf were the drivers in the last relay, carrying the life-giving serum in the race in face of death from Hot Springs to Ruby. Three minutes after they arrived at Ruby, reports here stated, another musher grabbed the frozen sled handles and hurried onward to meet Leonard Seppala, champion dog driver, at Kaltag. The temperature is close to 50 degrees below zero. Both dogs and men suffered from the cold. With Seppala is a famous racing team which will make the last dash of 300 miles across frozen Norton sound and bay to Elim. The Nome Derby runner made 400 miles in 72 hours and 35 minutes, while the racers on this flight against the Nome scourge have hung up a record of 500 miles covered in 72 hours. With near 700 miles clipped from the 1000 mile trek it was believed the time between Nenana and Nome of nine days would be cut to six days by the fleet dogs, establishing an almost unbelievable record. Time figures on the last 200 miles are not known.

SEXTON IS LAID TO REST Anaheim and Santa Ana friends of the late Alberta Lobdell Sexton united today at 10:30 a.m., in funeral services which were held at Winbigler's funeral chapel Santa Ana. The place was filled with friends, relatives and kin of the family, which had resided 18 years at the county seat. There was a profusion of floral tokens. Mrs. Sexton died Wednesday night Bulgin said that he was in Los Angeles yesterday and met a man who was going to address the Los Angeles C. of C. The man was talking to him about Anaheim. Bulgin told the man that newspaper reports that the people of Anaheim are flying at each other's throats are a bunch of lies, that Anaheim is peaceful and asked the man if he would tell the Commercial club that. The man replied that he would. Bulgin said that he had decided to pay no more attention to the attacks made on him by the Bulletin, that he had defended his character already, and that he did not believe that there is a man or woman in Anaheim that belLOVE the lies that newspaper publisher anyway, an dthat he felt that the best way to uphold the dignity of the ministry is simply to ignore it. This brot a cheer from the whole tabernacle. Miss Randall, of Santa Ana, a mission worker, led in prayer. He discussed Moses as a prophet, as a teacher, as an emancipator, as a legislator, as a doctor, as a scientist, as a lawyer and as type of Christ. He said that a revival of Bible reading would knock the pegs from underneath the higher critics, that those who criticize it most are the most profoundly ignorant of it. If you are an honest doubter and want to believe the Bible read the Bible, was his advice. The 20th chapter of Exodus he held out as enough to knock the pegs from underneath infidelity. Read that and then explain where Moses got that law if he didn't get it from God. Believing Moses and the Prophets won't save you, but if you believe them you'll believe Christ. The greatest and most damning sin is not a sin against the law, but the sin of unbelief which is a sin (Continued on Page Two) HEROINE OF EPIDEMIC SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30—Miss Emily M. Morgan, formerly of Wichita, Kansas, is the heroine of the diphtheria epidemic in Nome, Alaska. According to radio dispatches received here today by the American Red Cross, Miss Morgan has been working night and day among the suffering men, women and children in the far northern town and has performed yeoman service. NOME, Alaska, Jan. 30—This diphtheria stricken city appealed to the world for aid today. Conditions are serious and antitoxin rushed here by airplane is essential to save hundreds of lives. Mayor George Maynard declared. The conditions in Nome were regarded as critical by Maynard and dispatching of serum by airplane was regarded by him as the only course to be taken to save the sufferers. "We are advocating that action be taken immediately," declared Maynard, "And want antitoxin from Neneana. While appeals for aid were sent out from Nome, Derby-winning Slberian mushing dogs were speeding northward along the snow-covered Alaskan trails with a supply of the precious antitoxin but it will require days for the fast dogs to reach the sufferers. It was also believed the supplies of serum carried by the dogs was so small it would only last a short time and prove inadequate in the battle against the deadly disease. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30—Nome, Alaska, the city stricken by an epidemic of diphtheria, today appealed for aid in a radiogram re-continued on Page Two IS LAID TO REST Anaheim and Santa Ana friends of the late Alberta Lobdell Sexton wife of Fred L. Sexton of Anaheim united today at 10:30 a.m. in the funeral services which were held at Winigler's funeral chapel Santa Ana. The place was filled with friends, relatives and kin of the family, which had resided 18 years at the county seat. There was a profusion of floral tokens. Mrs. Sexton died Wednesday night after a stroke of paralysis. She had been hostess to the Bulgin evangelistic party at the Sexton home, 420 North Lemon-st. Evangelist Bulgin preached on a text taken from the 23rd Psalm dwelling on the thought of Christ as the Good Shepherd and the one door to eternal life: Alvin Carter, director of music at the revival, sang a baritone solo "The Golden Bells" and Rory Gourley and he sang "The Church in the Wildwood," Mrs. Sexton's favorite hymn. Rev. V. K. Ledbetter, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Anaheim, said the prayer. The bearers were William Wellman, A. A. Slaback, Frank Edmlston, A. Zimmerman, George Weatherwax and W. J. Sebastian. Interment was in Fair Haven cemetery. Granted Probation D. S. Blickmore of Westminster, found guilty of selling liquor to investigators prior to the recent dry raids, today was granted probation for two years by Superior Judge Z. B. West. Both Blickmore and Mrs. Blickmore, the mother of two children, had denied on the stand they ever saw the two dry investigators who secured the asserted evidence against them. The jury, however, returned a verdict against the man. It was this jury on which were the two men who created a mild sensation in court when they quaffed the liquid in a gallon demijohn that was handed them to smell. It was during this case, also, that J. M. Wagner, an investigator, was brot from smallpox quarantine in Los Angeles to testify of his purchases.

Club was the circulation today of another petition. This one urges the recall of Anaheim's first law enforcement council. Businessmen were being "high-pressured" to affix their signatures. The U. S. A. Club boycott was threatened if they did not sign. The petition was presented by some of the same little coterie which forced the recall, has indulged in the most reprehensible campaign of misrepresentation and mud-slinging ever seen in an Orange-co. political campaign, has imported ex-convicts in a conspiracy to besmirch the reputations of good men, in fact, has stopped at nothing. CLIQUE AGAIN OVERSTEPS BOUNDS Fewer Vacant Offices, Stores, Apartments Than Six Months Ago In the desperate effort to discredit Anaheim in every way possible the little clique that stops at nothing to attain its political ends again has overstepped. Secretary Geo. W. Reid of the Anaheim C. of C. heralds to the world thru the U. S. A. Club organ that there are some recent "Eternal Vigilance Cut this out and put the polls, and mark your vote.

Felder, his lawyer, were found guilty of conspiracy to bribe government officials in a sealed verdict returned today in federal court. The jury recommended extreme clemency for Felder. The offense carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Means received the verdict with his familiar dimple smile. Felder turned pale, licked his dry lips and gulped, while he sat immovable in his chair. Judge Lindley sentenced Means to serve two years in the Atlanta, Ga., penitentiary and to pay a fine of $10,000. It was the maximum penalty. Felder was fined $10,000 but given no prison sentence. Means seemed to take the jury's finding as a joke, rie had bet a newspaper reporter five cents, at even money, that he would be convicted. "Well," he said, with a grin. "I guess I win five cents." The government, in bringing the conspiracy charge, complained that Felder, Means and the latter's confidential man, Elmer Jarnkee, who pleaded guilty and testified against them, conspired to bribe former Atty-Gen. Harry M. Daugherty once Felder's law partner. United States Dist.-Atty. Hayward, his assistant, John Holly Clark, and Wm. J. Burns, head of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice under Daugherty. The defendants, R was charged, obtained $65,000 from certain defendants in the mail fraud case growing out of the Crague Co. sale of stock in the Glaz Casket Co. Means, Felder and Jarnkee, the government alleged, told the defendants that they could obtain dismissal of the indictment against them. Fewer Vacant Offices, Stores, Apartments Than Six Months Ago In the desperate effort to discredit Anaheim in every way possible the little clique that stops at nothing to attain its political ends again has overstepped. Secretary Geo. W. Reid of the Anaheim C. of C. heralds to the world thru the U.S.A. Club organ that there are some vacant houses, stores, apartments and offices in Anaheim at present. He neglects to mention other So.Cal. cities are in the same condition, most of them far more so, they are not advertising it. He also neglects to state that despite the fact there has been new building coming along all the time, there are fewer vacant stores, fewer vacant apartments and fewer vacant offices now than there were six months ago. There are more vacant houses now than six months ago but there have been a great many new once constructed in the last half year, the local building trades union last week reporting 25 under construction. Conclusive proof that more houses are occupied in Anaheim than ever before is the fact that attendance at the Anaheim grammar schools is much larger than a year ago. Going to the same source of information as Secretary Reid, Postmaster J. H. Whitaker gives the following figures on vacant property today and six months ago: Vacant: Today, 6 mos. Houses: 106 70 Stores: 28 39 Apartments: 88 110 Offices: 17 20 The U.S.A. Club organ, quoting Secretary Reid, declared last evening that "building permits have dropped from $186,132 in January, 1924, to $25,470 in January, 1925." That paper neglects to mention the little fact that with one exception January, 1924 happened to be the heaviest building month of that entire year, in fact from twice to 14 times as large as any other months—yes, with three exceptions, from around 4 to 14 times as large. If he had selected June, 1924, instead of January, he would have found a total valuation of $13,-600 and 21 permits. This might be compared with 22 permits and a valuation of $24,-470 up to the 26th of this month. Other months in 1924 ranged from $32,-000 up to $45,-000 or $50,-000. Another little thing not mentioned is that three buildings alone, even in the very advantageous month (for the purpose of comparison by the U.S.A. Club) of January, 1924, represented a valuation of $69,-500. This was true in many months of 1924. Shall KNIPE be reed (Mark your ballot) Candidate to succeed Knip Perry W.

Wilson, Los Angeles physician, succeeded in having a speeding charge against him changed from the justice court at Fullerton to that at the county seat, the case was dismissed against the doctor yesterday by Justice K. E. Morrison, when it was shown that the complaint before him was not the same as that to which the physician originally answered. Dr. Wilson, who was arrested at Fullerton, was represented in the proceedings by counsel for the Auto Club of So. Calif. CANARD OF "LAME DUCKS" IS NAILED Another canard put out by the "lame ducks" and "political sore-heads" who forced the recall election upon Anaheim was nailed today by Dr. E. E. Long, campaign manager for the law enforcement candidates. Following up a report credited to J. M. Gunnett, local ticket agent for the Pickwick Stage Co., of Los Angeles, that the Pickwick Co. was delaying construction of its station here to see how the recall is going. Over $101,000 in General Fund Compared With $51,000 Year Ago The city's finances are in better shape than ever before in the history of the city, despite the fact that the present council in nine months has purchased more new equipment than any previous board of trustees in any four-year term. A last minute attempt to juggle figures and confuse the voter, desperately attempted by the U. S. A. Club organ last night, was nailed today by Mayor E. H. Metcalf and Councilman Emory Knipe. Their statements follow: BY MAYOR E. H. METCALF The tax levy of the city of Anaheam for the current year is just the same as for the year preceding, 1.45 for each hundred dollars of assessed valuation. Of this amount 616 per hundred dollars is set aside for the general fund from which all the current expenses of the city are paid. Most of the balance is for bond redemption and interest including also library maintenance, etc. The general fund is the real barometer of the city finances, and the following table shows the status of this fund commencing May 8, 1924, the first regular meeting of the new council: May ... $34,702.25 June ... $27,436.77 July ... $44,560.01 August ... $44,812.39 September ... $42,287.53 October ... $40,704.81 November ... $69,777.55 December ... $91,899.13 January ... $101,874.00 For purposes of comparison the corresponding months of December, 1923, and January, 1924, after tax collections had been completed, are taken, showing as follows: December, 1923 ... $55,547.96 December, 1924 ... $91,899.13 January, 1924 ... $51,000.09 January, 1925 ... $101,874.00 There yet remains to be paid from the general fund for equipment and park improvement a little in excess of twenty thousand dollars, leaving in the general fund approximately $80,000.00 to carry the city until the next tax paying period. For the first six months of the present administration the current income derived from water, lights, the recorder's court and other city departments exceeded expenses at an average rate of $1000 per month, and is perhaps a reasonable criterion as to what may be expected during the present year. From the condition of the general fund, expenditures could exceed income more than eight DUCKS" IS NAILED Another canard put out by the "lame ducks" and "political sore-heads" who forced the recall election upon Anaheim was nailed today by Dr. E. E. Long, campaign manager for the law enforcement candidates. Following up a report credited to J. M. Gunnett, local ticket agent for the Pickwick Stage Co., of Los Angeles, that the Pickwick Co. was delaying construction of its station here to see how the recall election resulted, Dr. Long stated today: "Chas. Wren, president of the Pickwick Stage Co., tells me over long distance telephone from Los Angeles that J. H. Gunnett has no authority whatever to speak for the company and that the coming election has nothing to do with plans for building here. Mr. Wren stated further that the company was not interested in any way in the election here Tuesday and had nothing to do with it. "It must be remembered that Mr. Gunnett is one of the political sore-heads who have been active in forcing the recall upon the city. Last spring when the city council was considering the appointment of a city recorder, Mr. Gunnett was one of several applicants for the position. The council did not see fit to appoint Mr. Gunnett and he has now aligned himself with the 16 former officeholders and those others who were disappointed last spring." WOMAN LOSES SUIT Efforts of Sadie E. Allison to gain title to a bungalow at Brea formerly owned by Grant Allison, her divorced husband, failed in the superior court at Santa Ana late yesterday, when Judge F. C. Brumm gave judgment to Martha E. Brown, present owner. Mrs. Allison claimed her husband sold the property, but official records showed that Mrs. Brown had purchased the bungalow from a third party, from whom it was claimed. Allison bought the sales contract and paid it out. Mrs. Allison claimed a community interest. Absence of proof of the transaction resulted in the court's judgment against the divorcee. BY COUNCILMAN EMORY KNIPE The tax levy of Anaheim is $1.45 per $100 of assessed valuation. Of this $6111 was for the general fund—the variable factor in the equation of city finance—used for the ordinary expenses of the city, the balance being for redemption of bonds and interest and for the public library, each fund having been set aside for its particular purpose by resolution. The redemption monies do not affect the general fund nor does the money of the general fund affect the monies in the redemption funds. The proposition, clean-cut, in title: The financial standing of the city depends only upon the general fund since the various amounts for redemption of bonds and interest thereon must be set aside as guarantees to the investors holding those bonds. Consequently, we have only to consider the money spent out of the (Continued on Page Two)
